Sancho is derived from the Latin Sanctius, a name which appears at first glance to come from the Latin 'sanctus' ('saint') but which is thought to actually be derived from an earlier, pre-Roman name. Sancho was extremely popular as a Spanish and Portuguese medieval given name and is also a surname. Saint Sancho was a 9th century martyr from Cordova.
